one editor's response was: "This is a great idea -- can we add North Korea?"
DPC's response is: "Can we add Twatney?"

Did anyone see the opening of SNL last week. It had Wolf Blitzer giving a report on the war but the opening crawl said...
A judge in the Anna Nicole case gave permission for the body to be buried next to her son. He then broke down in tears. Britney has checked back in rehab after shaving her head. This just in Anna Nicole will have a marble head stone. Iraq still at war. Experts on Britney....
I thought it was so sad, yet funny, yet amazingly true.

I second DPChris's motion.
Posted by: baligurl | March 01, 2007 at 11:20 AM
I've heard that interviewing Paris often results in a Pull-it Surprise.

Why stop at the Pulitzer? Is it too late for a Nobel Prize nomination?
Posted by: KOW | March 01, 2007 at 11:29 AM
LOL random!
I say he run as Dave's VP, Yes of the United States!

Now now, KOW the Nobel Peace Prize is only for something really monumental, like giving up Britney Coverage.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | March 01, 2007 at 11:52 AM
The citizens of Mars object strenuously to that idea!
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | March 01, 2007 at 11:52 AM
And the problem was that BRITNEY gave up coverage, remember?
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | March 01, 2007 at 11:54 AM
So, in the mind of this editor, coverage of an underfed, irresponsible woman known mainly for being wealthy is equivalent to coverage of a nuclear-armed nation run by a raving lunatic whose people are eating grass and bark to get something in their stomachs (while he snacks on caviar and other delicacies)?
Naw, no bias in the media, none at all. Gimme a @#&%^! gumball.
Posted by: Clean Hands | March 01, 2007 at 11:55 AM
LOL Tammy!

*grins evilly while passing out the brain bleach*
Posted by: Nurse Tammy | March 01, 2007 at 12:00 PM
No, Sir, not to Mars.
Posted by: Valentine Michael Smith | March 01, 2007 at 12:07 PM
I'm with Nurse Tammy - Paris needs more coverage - as in - a bag over her face.
btw - her $200k mercedes got impounded - she was driving in LA with her lights off...with a suspended license.
In other words, hopefully you didn't see that on the news.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 01, 2007 at 12:09 PM
Paris Hilton for North Korea. Seems a fair trade to me.
Posted by: Suzy Q | March 01, 2007 at 12:15 PM
I'm with Nurse Tammy - Paris needs more coverage - as in - a bag over her face.
Preferably plastic.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | March 01, 2007 at 12:16 PM
They should be able to report on her and her crowd, BUT only under a column called "Skanky Ho News."
Posted by: Mikey123 | March 01, 2007 at 12:19 PM
VMS - trust me, she wouldn't share water.
Posted by: wickedwitch | March 01, 2007 at 12:24 PM
so paris no longer being news is news. bizarre.
Posted by: crossgirl | March 01, 2007 at 12:28 PM
Annie, the article I read said it was a Bentley!!! How many people at the impound lot took it for a spin, do you suppose?
Posted by: Eleanor | March 01, 2007 at 12:28 PM
I nominate this person as Time Magazine's Person of the Year.
Posted by: Rick T. | March 01, 2007 at 12:28 PM
WW, it would be a justifiable reason to "waste food."
Posted by: Hammond Rye | March 01, 2007 at 12:37 PM
El -ooops, guess I wasn't paying attention. That's the first step in ignoring her.
But I was looking forward to watching her grow old, pathetic, and desperate.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | March 01, 2007 at 12:45 PM
I just gotta pop in here to say that I love all (okay, both of) the Stranger in a Strange Land references... I'd forgotten how much I loved that book.
Posted by: Mr. Completely | March 01, 2007 at 01:07 PM
Well now you've said what you had to, Mr. C! run along!
There's chicken
chokingtossing and a flatulence game on the next threads...Posted by: Siouxie | March 01, 2007 at 01:11 PM
Is there a Veteran's Committee that His Blogness can influence to make sure his wish comes true?
Oh, wait. The Veteran's Committee won't do anything. Nevermind.
Posted by: Heinrich the Lab Rat | March 01, 2007 at 01:13 PM
A lot of people in the newsroom were saying this was tampering with the news."
There are a lot of people in the newsroom who would even consider Paris' activities to *be* news?!?!
Posted by: slyeyes | March 01, 2007 at 01:28 PM
WW, Ham and Mr. C.: it is my honor to give you news of a celebration I think you'll find interesting.
Never thirst. ;-)
Posted by: WriterDude | March 01, 2007 at 01:39 PM
(Oops -- CH should be in that list, too, as I already knew he's also one of Heinlein's Children.)
Posted by: WriterDude | March 01, 2007 at 01:42 PM
I already have plans to be there, WD.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | March 01, 2007 at 01:44 PM
Excellent, Ham. I hope we get a chance to share water, or at least a single malt or something. (Can you believe Buzz Aldrin is gonna be there?)
Posted by: WriterDude | March 01, 2007 at 01:49 PM
Looking forward to seeing Aldrin. I've met Collins and have been at a speech given by Armstrong. The single-malt idea sounds like an aquafraternally good idea.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | March 01, 2007 at 01:55 PM
I'm with Nurse Tammy - Paris needs more coverage - as in - a bag over her face.
Preferably plastic.
DPC - Do you suppose we could get her a guest shot on 24 as Jack's little sister?
Posted by: DeskDiva | March 01, 2007 at 01:56 PM
Hmm boys?? what's this I hear about a party for the guy who invented the Heinlin maneuver???
Can *I* go too????
Posted by: Siouxie *always ready for a party* | March 01, 2007 at 02:05 PM
Must remember to swap mobile numbers before we head to KC then, Ham. Only five months away.
Siouxie -- but of course, and bring the Banshees too. However, might be good to sort out your Heins from your Heims beforehand. ;-)
Off to The Airport Job (again), folks. Have fun!
Posted by: WriterDude | March 01, 2007 at 02:12 PM
Well, I guess this makes "We'll always have Paris" comepletely devoid of meaning.
Posted by: writer132 | March 01, 2007 at 02:26 PM
*snork at Stranger in a Strange Land*
Posted by: Lazarus Long | March 01, 2007 at 02:31 PM
She is only an egg.
Posted by: TheOtherHammy | March 01, 2007 at 02:33 PM
If Editor Jesse Washington doesn't qualify for a Pulitzer, perhaps this blog could recycle one of the K-State chickens into a Pullet Surprise.
Posted by: JerseyGirl | March 01, 2007 at 02:46 PM
Brilliant! I don't have a Pulitzer (or for that case a Nobel Prize - great idea, Edgar) on me but give that man a pat on the back!
Posted by: Brianne | March 01, 2007 at 03:07 PM
"barring any major events"
Oh right! Build in a loophole:
"Paris Hilton 'stunned' by ratification of Kyoto Protocol"
Posted by: Betsy | March 01, 2007 at 04:14 PM
this just in:
oh nooooooooooo!
Posted by: just sayin' | March 01, 2007 at 06:03 PM
"just sayin" ~
yep, the ban lasted about as long as Paris's oath of celibacy, right? Remember that blip on the radar?
Why is my brain even holding this stuff... you know, my husband said tonight, watching the news, "they're going to bury Anna Nicole.." and we both looked at each other and said, "Why do we even know this?!?!?!?"
Posted by: Cat R. | March 01, 2007 at 10:16 PM

Posted by: Monsoon | March 01, 2007 at 10:48 PM
WD - Doubt that I can make the Heinlein shindig, but ya never know. Waiting is.
*offering glass of water*
Posted by: Mr. Completely | March 01, 2007 at 11:38 PM
Ya know, Paris seems to look a lot older than she's supposed to be. Maybe all that partying ages people quickly?
But if it did, how come Charlie Sheen looks soooo good?!!
Posted by: Kristina L. | March 01, 2007 at 11:45 PM
Ummm, Kristina, ethanol can act as a preservative. (As well as an accelerant!)
Posted by: JerseyGirl | March 02, 2007 at 12:34 AM
Mr. C: Make mine neat, please.
Bottoms up!
Posted by: Jubal Harshaw | March 02, 2007 at 12:37 AM
I say we send her into space....wait, wasnt that suggested before?
Posted by: Chaz | 11:48 AM on March 1, 2007
You mean send her back, right?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | March 02, 2007 at 08:48 AM
This is a good start! Now if we can just get away frim the all Anna Nicole all the time coverage we would really have something.
